Three Year Olds and Vegetables?

Caleb wanted to help me make dinner tonight.

I gave him a butter knife and let him cut up some peppers.

Suddenly I hear crunching. I look over and see him munching away.

He told me he liked them.

Hmmm.

Then I remembered this pepper incident-- it occurred a few months ago. I got home from work, Doug was making dinner, Caleb was in his high chair... munching away on a red pepper. Not just a piece. An ENTIRE red pepper. He was eating it like an apple.

I was dumbfounded. He ate half of it.

Apparently I shouldn't be so concerned about his vegetable consumption.
